Why it might work
  • Light over deepBlack Cherish brings citrus and aromatic; Koto brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWhite floral and woody run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Black Cherish is very weak and moderate, Koto moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointKoto first, then Black Cherish over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
